The Richard III  Society is an international group with an interest in medieval history with particular emphasis on the life and times of Richard III, the last Plantagenet  King of England.

2007 marked the 21^st Anniversary of the founding of the Richard III Society in New Zealand. To celebrate, the Branch hosted the biennial Australasian Convention at Wallaceville House, Upper Hutt from 13^th to 15^th April.

Over 50 Ricardians and partners from Australia and UK joined in the celebrations over the weekend and enjoyed a full programme of scholarship and fun, the highlight of which was the Banquet on Saturday night. Most wore costume for the occasion and the venue was transformed into a blaze of colour as members paraded for the cameras.

Copies of the papers presented at the Convention may be obtained from the Secretary, contact  secretary@richard3nz.org.

The New Zealand Branch members meet monthly alternating between Lower Hutt and  Levin. Prospective new members are welcome.
